Is The Business Times left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
The Business Times is listed as Center on Crosswire: like most business and financial dailies it is read across the political spectrum, with an editorial line defined more by markets than by party politics.
Read The Business Times beside another title from Singapore and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Business dailies rank stories by market consequence rather than political salience, so The Business Times will often lead on something the general press buries — and describe the same policy in the language of cost and risk rather than fairness. Because The Business Times is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning Singapore title either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
